Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God.

Caputo has a long career as one of the preeminent postmodern philosophers in America. The author of such books as <b>Radical Hermeneutics</b>, <b>The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida</b>, and <b>The Weakness of God</b>, Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God. Part spiritual autobiography, part homily on what he calls the nihilism of grace, <b>Hoping Against Hope</b> calls believers and nonbelievers alike to participate in the praxis of the kingdom of God, which Caputo says we must pursue without why.</p><p>Caputos conversation partners in this volume include Lyotard, Derrida, and Hegel, but also earlier versions of himself: Jackie, a young altar boy, and Brother Paul, a novice in a religious order. Caputo traces his own journey from faith through skepticism to hope after the death of God. In the end, Caputo doesnt want to do away with religion; he wants to redeem religion and to reinvent religion for a postmodern time.</p>
